← HistoryWithin Mughal garden water systems, which outcome occurred if the *nahr* (canal) slope became too shallow?
A)Increased sediment deposition✓
B)Decreased evaporative cooling
C)Accelerated algae proliferation
D)Heightened hydraulic head pressure
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment deposition occurs because a shallow *nahr* slope reduces water velocity, affecting the sediment transport mechanism, therefore sediment accumulates rather than being carried away. The lower water flow does not explain other impacts because it directly impacts the movement of the very sediments.
